Node JS is single threaded language - How can use it for CPU

Node is single threaded and it is doing magical things with this model. Some of the popular server side technology like PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby & Java Servers all follow Multi-threaded where each client request results in the instantiation of a new thread or even a process, but Node. js, requests are run on the same thread with even shared resources. All Node JS applications uses “Single Threaded Event Loop Model” architecture to handle multiple concurrent clients. So Yes NodeJS is single threaded, but this is a half truth, actually it is event-driven and single-threaded with background workers.
